Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around! novel Chapter 492

Leah bit her lip and immediately winced in pain, even a simple action as such pulled on the bruises on her face. Nevertheless, this was nothing compared to the pain she suffered when she was beaten up.

For this period of time, she had asked herself countless times.

Did she regret what she did?

Did she hate them?

Did she feel guilty?

Her answer never changed. She did not regret everything she had done, she did not bear hatred, and neither did she feel guilty.

She just could not understand love. She liked Charles because he was the best. Whether it was his family background or his looks and abilities, he was one in a million, and only a perfect man like him was good enough for her.

So why did Charles like Sophia?

Sophia was reckless and stupid, just like Sterling. If it was not for the fact that their family had a little bit of money and their good looks, they were nothing!

She had put in so much effort and did so many things for Charles, but why had he never noticed her?

When Leah still could not figure it out, she decided not to think about it anymore.

Either way, thinking about it would not change the fact that she had lost —— just a month ago, Charles had sent someone over to tell her that Sophia was still alive and passed her their wedding invitation.

Sophia was still alive and was living happily, but her life was a living hell as she suffered in prison. Was this not a sign that she had lost?

She was willing to admit defeat, and she did not hate Sophia and Charles. After all, all was fair in love and war. However, she did not feel guilty as they were even now.

Clank!

Just as Leah was immersed deep in her thoughts, the prison door opened.

A prison guard walked in and said, “Leah, your brother is here to see you.”

“My… brother?” Leah had not spoken for a very long time. There was nothing she could say and anyway, she did not want to talk to anyone else.

Hence, her voice was unusually hoarse and dry.

The prison guard nodded and called out to someone else as they carried Leah out of the cell.

Although the prison guards were not rough with her, they were not exactly gentle either, so Leah felt uncomfortable under their touch. However, she could not stop smiling.

Nobody had visited her ever since she was thrown in prison, not even her family.

Sometimes when she laid below women with their bodies pressed against her as they satisfied their sexual needs, she would stare at the ceiling and think to herself. Did everyone outside prison forget about her already?

As soon as Leah got to the visiting room, she instantly saw William through the glass.

It seems that he had not been doing well. He had lost a lot of weight, and he seemed more restrained and reserved than before.

The prison guards pushed her down into her seat and grabbed the phone before holding it by her ear.

“Will,” Leah gave him a small smile and called out to him just like she used to.

“Hello,” William replied curtly. His eyes wandered to her neck that was covered with hickies and wounds, and after a short pause, he asked with difficulty, “How… How have you been?”

There was a hint of pity and heartache in his eyes, and Leah’s heart prickled. She wanted to tug on her sleeves but she could not move her hands at all. “Just alright, I’ve been alright.”

She looked at him, still smiling.

William’s Adam’s apple bobbed and he clenched his fists. “I’m sorry it took so long for me to come and see you.”

He was indeed furious at her, and he did hate her for using him, but after the initial anger subsided, he had tried different ways to come and see her.

However, the Harris and White family had given the prison specific orders, and even the Cox family mentioned something as well. Hence, he had to go out of the way and pulled some strings in order to arrange this visit.

“What’s there to be sorry about?” Leah smiled at him and her tone was light as she continued, “You’re here now, aren’t you?”

William opened his mouth several times and his eyes turned red, but no words came out.

“We don’t have much time, Will, if you don’t tell me everything you want to, who knows when will we see each other next,” Leah said casually, and she seemed so unbothered as if she was the one visiting him in prison.

William hesitated for a little more before he finally said, “Mom and Dad are divorced now.”

“Is she married to Uncle Harris now?” Leah did not look surprised at all.
